Exterior

The EX35 was a crowd-pleaser and turned heads as I drove by. I should mention
that it was primarily female heads that were turned. That's understandable
because the EX35's curvy profile was an attention-getter, and my Arctic Blue Ч
aka baby blue Ч test car only added to it.

With its low step-in height, my 3-year-old had no problems getting in the
crossover. The liftgate opened easily, but the cargo area was really small. It
was so shallow that I was unable to fit my double jog stroller in it. I had to
break out the umbrella stroller instead. While the cargo area was small, it was
at a convenient diaper-changing height.

The EX35 is powered by a 297-horsepower, 3.5-liter V-6 engine that's paired
to a new-for-2011 seven-speed automatic transmission. Both the rear- and
all-wheel-drive EX35 get an EPA-estimated 17/24 mpg city/highway, and with a
recommendation of premium fuel, filling up the tank could cost a pretty penny.
